Little hint: If you take a turn into a short side street, then click once. If it's longer click twice, if it's even longer click three times, etc. You'll get the hang of it =D
Yeah, you do that! Also keep in mind that some roads are easy (the one you managed is the easiest one) and some are insanely hard. Hencewhy the name "ExploRacer" as it's up to you to explore the map ;)...
